IMMENSE BUILDING BOOM AT CALD-
WELL, KAN.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
We have Just returned from our regular
trip to Caldwell and there is no one that
makes the town of Caldwell regularly but
that will agree with me when say they are
having an excellent boom in the way of
building, etc. Why person don't have
to 60 far to see new buildings going up
but can stand in the door of the Leland
hotel and count fifteen or twenty new
buildings which are in course of erection,
and among those who are identifying the
city with new buildings are corner Fifth
and Main F. C. Brown, business house;
on Main street Frank Weweerka, A.
S. Groh, j. Thomas Ross & Homer, two
story stone with basement. Capt. Coving-
ton, two story stone business building.
Geo. Haines & Co. are also one of those
firms which come to stay. They are build
ing an addition to their already large gro
Gerry house The Rock Island Lumber Co.
are going to build large houses for their
storing purposes, and the finest office in
all Southern Kansas. Vanhandle & Son
are also building Capt Lowe is now a
contractor on the Rock Island. His son is
sole proprietor of the Caldwell bus line,
and he is one of the boys who are always
ready to accommodate.
The Leland has changed hands, and
Messrs @. Van Hummell & Son
are the genial landlords, and
it is run to the very letter
MIR. Sam Woodson, ''the little feet man"
former proprietor, still has an interest, but
Van Hammond are the managing prOprie-
tors. Generally speaking, the cattle men
are all feeling first class for the grass is
fine in the Territory and their cattle ar all
doing we'll, so why shouldn't they feel
good Mr.. Malaley just got in from his
cattle ranch and says his cattle look tip top,
they are going to furnish the Arkansaw
Valley people with some fine feeders this
fall.
Mclean, Riley s. Charley Liebler have
their large store rooms completed and oc-
cupied.
Caldwell is one of the good towns.

here and Trinidad, it is rich rolling prai

Further along is "Allo'way and Haunted

enter a beautiful garden a little further
along on the opposite side, which contains
the Burns monument, erected in 1920. In
an apartment On the ground floor we were
shown more relics, notably the Bible given
by Burns to his Highland Mary. There
is a separate structure in this garden con-
tanning life-size statues, in a sitting posture,
glasses in hand, of Tam O. Shanter and
Softer Johnny, which are as creditable to
the sculptor as to the dead poet who dis
covered them. The conviction somehow
forced itself upon my mind that these two
worthless were getting little more than
their share of attention. Leaving the gar
den, we wandered down to the Banks

gurgling stream, perhaps a hundred feet
wide: we stood on the ''auld brig" which
figures so auspiciously in the tale OF Tam

celebration was held. There was chorus
of two thousand voices, and the songs of
Robert Burns only were sung What

The jump upward within the past year
has been eleven thousand Marvellous
increase Nowhere outside of Kansas
could be found like rapid
and substantial growth. The improve
ments going on down there to provide for
this wonderful expansion form an amazing
feature of the growth. 1t seems. almost,
indeed, as though chaos had come again
and located within the boundaries of the
city. But amid all the hustle and confu-
sion, the sound Of the hammer, saw, ma
chinery, the bawling, the hauling, the ex-
element, the going and coming, the hurry,
the rush and roar of this young metropo-

guiding these busy wsyfsrers out Of the
wilderness into the promised land.

Our old friend Col. Anthony, of the

outrageous assertions, of course, are ex-

times leave impressions which result IN

How to Make People Laugh.

Adonis Dixey is spending his vacation
in touching up his theories about how to
make the public laugh and how to induce
crowds of them TO pay for being made TO
laugh. Here are few Of his conclusions:
1T isn't making the public laugh that
shows genius, but TO say something real
funny and keep the public from laughing.
Anybody can make the public laugh.
That isn't hard. An old joke that has
been heard fifty times before may make a
man laugh, but the next minute he'll be
saying what an old chestnut that was.
The way 10 win the hearts Of the public
is to make them believe you like them and
give them something 10 laugh over when
they've gone home.
Its better To make one woman laugh
than four men. She'll tell more people
,bout II and it'll do you and the box Office
more good in the long run. What YOU
want is 10 get people saying you're funny
A man may think you're funny, but he
won't say anything about it, A woman
will. She'll tell her friends and they il
want TO 60 and see YOU. The actors that
please the women are successful New
